Castile - in the heartland of Spain

between castles and canyons

Itinerary

Route

Tour profile/ Level 2-3:

Hilly, you mostly cycle on tarmac secondary roads, except on the last day: through the canyon you go on a natural path and sometimes you need to get off the bike because there might be smaller rocks on the road.

Day 1: Segovia

Individual arrival. Visit this magnificent World Heritage Site city of Segovia.

Day 2: Segovia to Collado Hermoso, approx. 42 km

Small country roads and pretty rural countryside will bring you to the charming village of Collado Hermoso. You will have a chance to stop at the famous Royal Palace of San Ildefonso and visit its fabulous fountains and gardens. We recommend you eat along the way in one of the many excellent restaurants at Torrecaballeros.

Day 3: Roundtrip to Turegano, approx. 36 km

Today’s route takes you away from the mountains to reach the little historic town of Turegano, home to a medieval castle well worth a visit. This extraordinary castle towers over the village, incorporating an earlier Romanesque church in its construction. Why not stop in the plaza to enjoy an aperitif or a delicious traditional meal!

Day 4: Collado Hermoso to Pedraza, approx. 32 km

This morning you will cycle through small villages and wooded landscapes to reach the beautifully preserved town of Pedraza and its imposing castle. Considered one of the most beautiful walled cities in Spain, this place will surely be a highlight of the trip! Take time to wander through the cobbled streets and to browse the interesting artisan shops. There is a photo opportunity on every corner!

Day 5: Pedraza to Sepulveda, approx. 31 km

Today you will explore the countryside around Pedraza. You will come across incredibly quaint villages anchored in a time warp! You will witness rural life as it was many years ago. The rustic style is ever present with perfect examples of rural Romanesque churches set in stunning countryside.

Day 6: Pedraza – Sepulveda, approx. 32 km

Today you will cycle from the foothills to the plains of Castilla. This route takes you through fields of sunflowers and wheat. Eventually it will lead to the hill top town of Sepulveda, where you can have a picnic near the natural spring or take a dip in its crystal clear waters! As your destination looms in to view you will marvel at this medieval jewel with its narrow winding cobbled streets and historic noble houses. Take time to discover the hidden treasures that Sepulveda shelters around every corner. Explore...!

Day 7: Sepulveda – National Park Hoces del Duratón, approx. 37 km

On this your last cycling day, you will enjoy the highlight of your trip, the spectacular Duratón Canyon Nature Reserve. Cycling in the shadow of the overhanging cliffs of the canyon alongside the meandering river, you will pass under the pleasant shade of poplars while admiring the impressive enormous birds of prey swooping overhead.

Day 8: Sepulveda

Individual departure or extended stay.
